My husband of 9 months bruised my arm

I'm glad you dropped back in on this thread, Bill. I was wondering about her night before last. Hoping her life was going well.

Perhaps she can give us a heads up on that.

PS-WOW's at the new avatar.

Thanks guys. That one was taken in Wisconsin while sharing some wine with friends after the last Hurricane.

My pulse quickened a bit when I saw this thread activated again. My first thought was, 'Oh, no'. I think we're all hanging on the edge with her a bit.

I had the same thoughts J-B, but luckily, all we
see is Bill's new avatar

Wouldn't they (brooke and bill) make the perfect couple?

hint, hint, hint,

Maybe they are 'stand in' avatars.

Maybe its all a ploy.

Maybe they are awaiting plastic surgery and this is what they want to look like!!!!

I don't think so material girl. There comes an age
where you feel comfortable with your looks

Giggles at you. Well........there still IS that B&B's B&B that we need to open up. :wink: And Bill is an absolute doll.....not just in his looks, but his kindness and helping hand for others.

Hey Material girl! Speaking of plastic surgery, I have a pretty strong stance on that one. It's my motto that I am what I am and as I grow older and age, and change, I hope I do it gracefully. For if not, I will just have to deal with it. :wink: I will still have my inside, which is where it matters anyways. And that's something I can always improve on and make better. The body is simply a house that holds the heart. (And not that important to me, except for exercising to stay healthy.)

I know I must be doing something right when an angel like Brooklyn tells me so. Boy, you're all so kind on this thread... makes me not want to leave... or open a B&B. :wink: ((( everyone )))

Open a B & B thread for crying out loud.
Brooke hinted at that numerous times already. Do you
need an invitation for your lucky charm?

Men, tstststs......

Open a B&B thread? I'm contemplating opening a B&B!

double

Oh!

I thought you might want to open a Brooke and Bill thread

leave, occam? what, no, no, no one could be more diff in polit views that you and me, or I suppose they could but not by so much. But I so much don't want you to leave, good grief, no. You're part of my range of self and I don't want you leaving, whatever your excuse is. And not just because you're cute, but because you argue forcefully from your pov, which I'm not adept at, may I add, and you have a nobullshit heart.

Relax Osso. B&B's B&B is a fictional Bed and Breakfast that lends itself to some online flirting between Brooklyn and myself. Lucky for her, she's all the way up in O-hi-O... so she's reasonably safe from me just popping in.(Though every we once in while I just jump in my car or on a plane). Eventually, though, we'd have to get tired of spending every waking moment perfecting our bedroom skills… and then we'd come back and say hello to you. Otherwise I'd miss your wit. Every time I convince myself you're nuts, you bust out something startlingly insightful. How could I forget about you?

Huh? I'm all for you two together or separate. I just don' want you, O'Bill, to be leaving a2k, which it seemed like you were talking about a few times recently.

If you weren't serious, then ne'er mind, carry on....

Phew!!Im burning up here.
I feel like a voyeur to an online romance!

Luckily Brooke Im not into surgery either.
Cant wait to see what I NATURALLY look like as an old woman.

His words melt her.........like butter.

Y'know Brooke, he really does sound like a Darned Nice Man.

And while I'm at it, Brooke, I'd like to sneak in how much I admire you. You turned your own bad experiences into a way to help others. There are few things that are more difficult or more rewarding. Cheers for you, hugs for you, blatant admiration for you!

Gosh you're a Darned Nice Woman! I think we'd all love to see the 2 of you happy together....

Boris, I don't know what to say. So, I shall give you a big hug and simply say, thank-you.

and also thinking I need to quit flirting with Bill before he gets scared off the forum.

hi guys!

My husband and I are both doing fine. He has his first appointement next week to see the cousellor.

It feels like we have started all over again. It's like clearing the table and setting it for a feast!!!!

We have also set aside one night in the week to talk about our feelings and just about anything.

I feel so much closer to him and he is really trying hard to "make-up" for the abuse.

If I didn't talk to you guys, I would never have known what to expect next.

Thanks again, and thankyou for all the concern.
